Tabriz Persian Antique Allover Floral Rug In Pale Sand Hand-Knotted Wool – Circa 1920 BB8049 7'7" × 10'8" $26,000

This fine Persian Tabriz rug, sized at 7′7″ × 10′8″, stands as a splendid example of early 20th-century artistry—an heirloom piece with both technical merit and decorative richness.

The field reveals a dense, all-over pattern of palmettes and flower-heads, tightly interwoven via scrolling stylized vines. The design has a layered effect: floral motifs in warm caramel-brown tones dominate forward, while a softer network of slate-blue vinery recedes into the background, adding depth and visual texture.

The borders echo this botanical theme with multiple bands: the main border features flowering climbers and large palmettes, while the guard borders are filled with smaller floral sprays and vine motifs that gracefully frame the central field.

Color plays a central role here. The palette is “classic”: caramel and slate blue take center stage, tempered with accents of dark brown for contrast, which gives the rug a rich warmth without overwhelming the delicate detailing.

Woven of the finest wool by a skilled artisan, this rug remains in impressively good condition considering its age—virtually no wear—attesting to its quality. If properly maintained, it promises beauty and texture that can carry through generations.

This rug from the Doris Leslie Blau Collection is not only a collectible statement of refined taste and exceptional craftsmanship—it is also a rare survival of the modernist movement as interpreted through Persian textile tradition. Doris Leslie Blau offers a broad and varied pricing spectrum, accommodating collectors and designers across a range of budgets—from modest vintage finds to rare, museum-worthy masterpieces.
